In reference to "Heart of the Wild" appearing somewhat lackluster I don't think it will be as underpowered as it initially looks, Once you factor in that all druids will get a corresponding increase to the different forms basic stats. 100% of intellect to attack power in bear/kitty forms for balance/resto druids (Killer Instinct spec skill) and 100% of int to nature spell power for bear/kitty's (Nurturing Instinct spec skill), these skills are passive meaning 100% uptime assuming your in the right forms.

Add on top of that Heart of the Wild bonuses and I think druids will be more than capable to fill other roles for those 45seconds. Example: Boomkin fills MT/OT slot if the tank dies for some accidental reason while BRez/rebuffs/heals to get the tank back in the action then the Boomy goes back to dps.

Also the "X Instinct" spells will make Master Shapeshifter talent interesting and could very well result in a dps increase if you pop out of kitty/boomy to throw 3 wraths or 3 claws/rakes/rip every 5-10 seconds.

TLDR; Killer/Nurturing Instinct spec skills could have an awesome synergy effect with Heart of the Wild/Master Shapeshifter talents.
